SIXTY million acres This is the latest
hand deal announced. An old Mexican
grant, embracing lands in Texas, New
Mexico and Colorado, which at the time
the grant WAS made We're part Of the
domain 81 Mexico, has been brought up
by a land syndicate with Rufus Hatch
AT it's head. from the original heirs TO
the grant The probabilities ARE, in case
81 contest that the grant will be con
iirmed. Thus, in the evening oi the nine
tecnth century, does the land holding
and land Specializing mania approach
the very climax Of absurdity. Our gov
eminent ought, in Justice to itself and it's
people, to refuse to confirm this grant.
Failing in this, the land should be so
taxed AZ to force the spectators to
loosen their grip The most damnable
in all our governmental policy is the
allowing Of millionaires to hold vast
estates of land and make virtual serfs
al the occupants. This has been the
millstone around the neck of every for
mer civilization known to the worlds
history and unless the worse than bar
barous practice is stopped and that
right speedily, our republic will soon de-
generate into an anarchy. The evil day
may bc put off for while, but the end
must -Marinette Eagle.

The TelegrapMc Paternallsm.

Ed. Re9ister-I read at the time of
it's publication, and friend now calls
my attention to it second time, to the
following paragraph, which appeared
In the editorial columns of the REGIS
TER of November II, viz:
ave are not of these who want the
to establish telegraph lines
and run them. There is enough pater-
nalism now, and the man who advo-
Gates its extension is more short-sight-
ed than any wide-awake lover of liber-
ty ought to be."
do not think the sentiment of this
paragraph ought to pass unchallenged.
The first sentence, il is true, is the mere
statement of fact, which, If correctly
stated, should pass without criticism.
But the phrase, '"There is enough pa
now" taken in its connec-
ton, and uttered In the United States,
appears to me to be very transparent
solecism. Telegraph lines are public
as much SO as our rail-
roads or common highways AZ has

reports the writ was unserved. 'Tis further
reported, however, that Mr.. Turner claims
justifable grounds. The shooting was done

st. Louis Correspondence.
VIA WASHINGTON, D. c.

Ed. Register-The session of the
Evangelical Alliance spoken of in the
last, was held as advertised and was a
very successful conference.
Pres. w. Dodge, Esq, of New York
City. called the conference toge Der
December Z, at O'Clock A. NJ. Bish-
ops Andrews and Hurst. of the NJ. E.
Church; Bishop Harris, of the Protest
ant'Episcopal Church; DR.. Pierson, of
Philad delphia, Hon. John Jay and JUS
tice Strong, of the Supreme Court,
were on the platform. Bishop Harris,
of Detroit, Mich, read the scriptures
and all the congregation joined in the
Lords Prayer, which was followed by
a prayer by DR.. Pierson. The presi-
dent read fine opening address, set
ting fourth the objects of the conference,
which was we'll received, in word and
spirit. Bishop Andrews was then in
troduced, and gavean address Of well
come, which was Q model of beauty
and force. He highly commended the
object which had broue ht them togeth-
er for council. He gave much good
advice and hearty welcome to Wash
ipgton.
Subjects were assigned to various
men, who bad papers prepared. They
were allowed 80 minutes to read them.
Many of them were restricted for time
and the papers were cut short in read
ing and are to be broughtout In book
in January. It was the voice Of good
judges that. as class. the papers were
far above the ordinary merits of such
papers. There. were about twelve of
these papers besfaeas several addresses
given on tie sanaelshbjects.
Nearly sg the churches were repre-
sented in this conference to an extent
oever beforkseen Do our country. A
most kindly spirit prevailed all hearts,
and all worsi ssnokh or read were of
the Chriskhnsaype. During all the
time your correa apondent never heard
word of discord from any man, lay or
clerical. The conference closed Thurs
day night about 10 O'Clock, more like
Methodist love feast than a body OF
1000 men gathered from the length and
breadth ofthaland, out of all churches
nearly. except the Catholics.
It is impossible to tell the good that
will grow out of this gathering. These
men, both lay and clerical. went home
saying that they would work more for
the cause of the Master and less for
glory or pride. If this
is accomplished. only great good will
be done to the cause Of Christ.
President and Mrs. Cleveland gave
:he conference a reception at the White
House on Friday eve. 1t was thought
to be the largest body received by the
Presidenrand Mrs. Cleveland. certain
ly the largest body of ministers. Pres.
Dodge made nice little speech. which
was responded to by President Cleve-
land in very fine style and spirit.
Handshaking then took place to the
great pleasure of the people. but to the
weariness, it is feared, OF the President
and his most amiable wife.
Many of the preachers remained over
the sabbath, while the great majority
of the people went home Friday. Your
correspondent enjoyed the trip, and
especially the influence of the confer
ence. Wish all your readers had been
there also.

A CALL
For an Educational Convention,

To ALL LAYMEN OF THE METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN WESTERN
WASHINGTON TERBIToRY-GreetiAg:
Dear Brothers and Sisters :-lnas..
much as the Puget Sound Ministerial
conference of Church has undertaken
to found a university; and, having
eonditionally located the same at fort
Townsend, they have annuled their
contract, without apparent good rea-
son; thereby causing much scandal 10
our beloved church. And inasmucn
as they have ignored the laymen VINO
have for three years given their time
and money for such institutions; anu
inasmuch as the chief financial bur
dens of such schools fall upon the
laymen; and inasmuch as there IS no
law nor custom of our church which
gives such matters exclusively or pri-
marily into the hands of the ministry;
Therefore, the undersigned do issue
this call to all laymen addressed "
assemble in an Educational ConVeb-
ton in the city of Seattle on Iuesds!
Nov. l, 1887. to decide as to the pro-
per location of university for Un
Territory and 10 take such o.hea
actions as in our assembled wisdoin
may seem necessary or proper.

From QuIleute.

Our old friend Peter Fisher writes
an interesting letter from Forks prai-
RE. The season has been very dry
and crops have suffered, but there
has been n fine yield of apples on the
Fisher farm which in few years will
brovs to be great fruit raising place.
L new industry has been started by
MIR Darling at the new mill; as the
country is overrun with wild pepper
mint, Mr. d. erected still to extract
the oil Four hundred pounds of the
green mint will yield one pound of
oil of the finest quality. Fisher and
Darling intend planting large guam
tlty of mint next year, and so into
the business for profit. We believe
it will pay we'll.
Uncle Fisher tells a good salmon
story. He and Darling were in a ca
noe spearing salmon, wlch were plen-
tiful and unusually large; Darling
speared one 8 feet 10 inches long,
and it made dart and pulled him
out of the canoe into the cold damp
waters of the river where he and the
salmon had fearful tussle. Fishers
thought at one time the salmon would
get away with Darling, as hundreds
OF salmon came to the rescue of their
| friend, who from his size was the
king of all the salmons in the river.
At last after the spear broke Darling
made lucky hit on the salmon's
nose with the heel of his boot, which
stunned it, and then he and Fisher
hauled it ashore. 1t weighed rs
pounds. The next day Fisher killed
the largest black bear he ever saw. 1t
was as large as 4 bullock, and was
shot near his residence Fisher
writes that he had some fine sport
with that bear, and is ready for an
other at any time. He and Darling
are going into the spruce gum bust
ness on the Fisher plan, which pro
duces perfectly pure article, and
will be fayorite with the children.
Quileute is coming to the front fast
and sure.

Montana.

Preston H. Leslie, governor of
Montana territory, in his annual re-
port to the secretary of the interior,
estimates the present population at
10000, an increase of 10000 during
the past year. The present year has
been most favorable in the prodsc-
ton of all staple crops. Yields with
out irrigation have been very large.
On the subject of stock raising, the
governor says: Prior to the present
year this industry was in most pros
porous condition, but the last terrible
winter was most disasterous. In con-
sequence of this experience, stockmen
have turned attention more to the
protection of grasses. The governor
estimates the number Of cattle in the
territory at 100000, horses, 10000,
sheep, 100000, all of a high grade.
81 100000 worth of wool has been
produced and shipped this year.
The total assessed value of taxable
property is 62,000,000.
There were increased investments
in mining. A conservative estimate
of the yield of mines in gold, silver,
lead and copper for the last year is
S26, 100000. Coal became an impor-
tant element in the mining industry
of the territory.
The governor says he has informa-
ton that large areas of land donated
to the state by the government for
school purposes are now unlawfully
occupied by persons wi , fence them
IN and live upon their products,
greatly to the injury OF fhe property.
He asks that an such persons be i'm
nediately compelled to, yacate.
He recommends the establishment
of a refinery in connection with the
United States assay office at Helena.
Of the Indians he says there has
been little trouble or danger, except
for occasional horse stealing raids
and counter raids among the Piegans
and Crows, and similar performances
once in while by the Bleods and
Blaekfeet, il which white mems
property is occasionally stolen. These
outrages, says the governor, tend
naturally to arouse spirit OF resent
ment, which will develope into bel
hgerent form in the near future If
not avoided by prompt and firm
measures to prevent the occurance of
these pillaging expeditions.
La conclusion the report says:
"Montana's interests have been
greatly cramped and her progress
much retarded on account OF the alien
land law. That law" it says, so far
as it has or will prevent aliens from
grasping and holding great and ex-
tensive areas of land may be unobiec-
tionable, but the provision under
which the foreign capitalist is kept
from investment ia and from devel-
opment of our mines, is great weight
and hindrance to our people"

New York Sna, Deml
The following facts concerning
Chicago, and of thrilling interest to

Laconner Mail: The quotation for
oats still remains at about $40 per
ton. A few job lots have been sold
on the flats foT SD or SO 80, but the
bulk of the crop is held for raise.
1t seems that the Henry George
land theory is simply the land system
of China. In that barbarous country
all the land is owned by tho govern
ment and the rents are collected in
the shape of taxes That is the sort
of civilization George is working for.
1t is understood that the chamber

Seattle Press: The dispatches an
nounce that the Mayor of Chicago
has arrested one of the editors of the
Tacoma Ledger on charge of luna
cy. 1t will only be necessary to in
troduce files of that paper in evidence
III order to convict him and send him
to the insane asylum for life.
There is story in circulation to
the effect that Col. ". r. Morrison, of
